It's time once again for our monthly astrology feature, and this month we wish a happy birthday to Capricorn! These folks are sensible and organized, and they prefer friends and mates to act accordingly. Capricorn is embarrassed by extravagence and shows of ego. If you want help planning Elton John's birthday party, ask a Sagittarius. If you need your taxes done, Capricorn is your guy.

Dear Capricorn: Cheer up, man! Yes, the holidays can be stressful, but you should be all set now that you've finished your holiday gift spreadsheet. Yes, yes, I know ... the "Gift Matrix" calculates the perfect gift based on birthdate, middle name, and hair color. But, don't forget to have fun! Maybe just one, tiny mug of eggnog this year??

Here are a couple items I found that even level-headed Capricorn can get excited about:

Capricorn's birthstone is the beautiful and rare ruby. This gorgeous, Victorian style wall sconce features wonderful clear and ruby-colored glass accents. Sure, it's highly decorative, but this look goes back over a century; it's tried and true!

Our practical buddy Capricorn will love this classic bankers lamp. This model is confident and stylish, and it features OTT-LITE technology engineered to mimic natural light and reduce eye strain.

Finally, for our little Capricorns ... This puppy dog accent lamp is the perfect companion night light. Our dear Capricorns cherish loyalty, and dogs pretty much have a corner on that market.

These Holiday-friendly home decor items are a thoughtful way to show someone you care while allowing you to stay within your budget. Best of all, these items are currently in stock so you will receive them before Christmas as long as you order by December 15th. Three cheers for shopping online!

Small mini-chandeliers are all the rage now, with designers using them for a dash of style everywhere from entry areas to bedrooms.

Now a new collection has taken these small chandelier designs and suspended them from a floor lamp stand. The result is a bit of portable glamour that you can move from room to room as you wish. They'll look great in a room corner or to add glitter to a seating area.

More stands are on the way, but for now we're featuring a distressed white finish base paired with seven different mini-chandeliers. Floor stand chandeliers.

Rachel Simon's fabulous designs have a habit of popping up as I sift through design magazines and click through design blogs. Each time I'm reminded how cool they are! Like this Kimono Deco Deluxe pendant, which I hear can be "customized" by removing one or more of the inner layers. An insider tip!

Hybrids aren't just for the roads. Our newest floor lamp design artfully combines two types of lighting: hidden from view, a top torchiere lamp offers general room lighting; a stack of four lights below this top light provides great accent lighting.

You can use the lights together or independently of one another. We've also included a dimmer on the top light that helps you set the mood. These work great in contemporary settings or in rooms where you need a little extra light.
